Throwing Shade

I saw your cowardice hand, time and time again But I studied non-observance in an attempt to mask the pain Why? Why? This was the preeminent question Bafflement met by discernment, now, overwhelming frustration Throw and hide, throw and hide, now, what an insidious plot To think I'm the ineffectual kind, oooh, I think not Only when the light is too bright does one need shade Oh lucky you, you have a pair that's homemade My silence was sadly mistaken for weakness What you failed to see or comprehend was quiet strength and meekness A beaming source of light Walking in purpose and leaving the night Sweetly into the days, I go Far, far away from frenemies and foes Onward to my beautiful, WHY I'm so excited, I can't tell a lie But now, I digress from all this child's play I got big fish to fry, so I'll be on my way
